Unfortunately, the topic of unemployment is very relevant at the moment. With this post we will try to be useful with answers to some of our frequently asked questions lately:
📞 On what grounds do I have to be dismissed in order to be entitled to unemployment benefit?
✅ The general rule is that all persons who have been insured for unemployment for at least 12 months during the last 18 months are entitled to compensation and do not engage in work for which they are subject to compulsory insurance. This includes persons who have terminated their employment contracts by mutual consent pursuant to Art. 325, para. 1, item. 1 CT, those released by the employer against the agreed compensation under Art. 331 CT, those who left of their own free will with notice under Art. 326 CT and those exempted under Art. 330 CT. However, these individuals will receive the minimum amount of cash unemployment benefit for a period of only 4 months!
📞 I am dismissed on the grounds of “downsizing the state”, “closing the enterprise”, “reducing the volume of work” or “stopping work for more than 15 working days”. What other benefits are I entitled to besides unemployment benefit?
✅ The termination of the employment contract by the employer on any of the grounds of Art. 328 CT, among which are the above, takes place with prior notice. The notice period is the one that the parties have agreed in the employment contract. Thus, if the employer issues an order to terminate the contract before the expiration of the notice, he owes compensation in the amount of remuneration for the term of the missed notice.
✅ Another often “missed” compensation is that under Art. 222 CT. Upon termination of a contract on the grounds listed above, the employee is also entitled to compensation in the amount of his remuneration for the time during which he remained without work, but for no more than 1 month.
📞 My employment contract has been terminated, but I am also the manager of a commercial company. Will I get compensation?
✅ Managers of commercial companies are subject to compulsory insurance in accordance with Art. 4, para. 1, item. 7 XO. Therefore, this would create a problem in the consideration of the application by the NOI. We recommend timely change of managerin the Commercial Register.
